The report presents customary foundation systems for high-rise buildings such as raft and pile foundation as well as the innovative foundation system of combined pile-raft-foundation. Where piles are primarily used to reduce settlements (satisfy the serviceability) and where an adequate factor of safety against failure is provided, the innovative combined pile-raft foundation (CPRF) has been put forward in the past. Furthermore, the possibility of using geothermal energy for example by equipping the piles
adequately will be presented.
